Description

We study the processes with a fixed number of jets at the LHC. The jets are defined using the standard hadronic anti-kT algorithm, and the fixed number of jets is obtained by imposing a jet veto on the final QCD activities. A formalism allows a NLL' resummation over the large jet veto logs is derived. We apply the formalism to the higgs+1jet to see how it can help to reduce the theoretical uncertainties.
